Edel Romay was born in San Andres Tuxtla, Veracruz, Mexico. He studied education at the Escuela Normal """"Enriquez C. Rebsamen."""" At the Veracruzana University, he studied architecture and plastic arts along with mathematics and philosophy. In 1966 he established his residence in Berkeley, California in the U. S. where he earned his B. A. from the University of California at Berkeley. He received his M. S. from California State University at Hayward and his doctorate from San Francisco State University. Presently, he is retired from his teaching career and has returned to his passion for the plastic arts and literature. A student of mythology and cosmology, he is a very learned man of exceptional imagination. Dr. Romay creates in his works what he calls absurd realism. That's to say the coexistence of the absurd within what we call human reality. As a poet, painter, sculptor, narrator or photographer, his art takes us to a quantum world and an oneiric memory. After having enjoyed a successful career in the area of critical pedagogy, Edel Romay finally can dedicate all his attention to what he has always wanted to do - publish his numerous manuscripts. The present one transformed into a book speaks to us with real fiction of edited memories. Not much different from what Mario Vargas Llosa tells us: Memory is the point of departure of fantasy. Therefore, the short narrative included here exposes us to contemplate yesterday as a dream. Something like what some writers experience within that encounter with absence when they internalize themselves into a sheet of blank paper in the present progressive digital world. Nevertheless, the author continues to use classic pencil and blank paper for his rough drafts. Unquestionably, that """"yesterday"""" that once was """"today"""" is suspended in that labyrinth of memory. After all, this narrative subscribes to the premise that """"Reality only exists in language."""" Because the reality of this work manifests itself if you continue to read it... You see For it offers more than one reading."""" | Glass Moon Over Images Of Sand by Edel Romay, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
